2011 | 2012 Season - Season of the Diva!


Our ninth season is a year of change, theatre renovations and growth. How better to mark it than a tribute to the great female Broadway Divas and a celebration of the roles they brought to life.


We are ecstatic to bring you a fierce line up of star studded theatrical ladies including the southern belle Blanche Dubois, the powerful Evita Peron, the Broadway belt of little orphan Annie, the hysterically odd duo of Olive Madison and Florence Unger, ladies of the cloth Reverend Mother Regina and Sister Mary Amnesia and never to be outdone, the incomparable Zaza!

This epic story recounts the struggle against adversity in 19th century France.

The relentless Inspector Javert, who makes a decent life for Valjean impossible, consequently pursues him.

My Fair Lady

This show is the standard by which all others are measured. Based on Shaw's play and Pascal's movie "Pygmalion," with book, music and lyrics by Lerner and Loewe, MY FAIR LADY is triumphant. With Wouldn't It Be Loverly?, With a Little Bit of Luck, The Rain in Spain, I Could Have Danced All Night, On the Street Where You Live, Get Me to the Church on Time and I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face it's no wonder everyone-not just Henry Higgins-falls in love with Eliza Doolittle.
